Giants RB Cam Skattebo Says Viral Fanatics Fest Backflip Left Him Fine After 8-Game 2025 Season

Summary

  • Cam Skattebo said he is "perfectly fine" after his botched Fanatics Fest backflip went viral and raised fresh concern about the Giants running back's health.
  • The 24-year-old blamed WWE's bouncy floor, saying it launched him too high and cushioned the landing enough that he fell backward but was unhurt.
  • The scare drew extra attention because Skattebo had broken his tibia last season; he had previously used a successful offseason backflip to show his recovery.
  • Jaxson Dart downplayed the mishap, saying Skattebo merely over-rotated and has looked strong in offseason workouts as he heads into his second year in New York.
